Assessments: Not Just a Metric, but a Mirror   

More than a mere number, the DoD self-assessment score (aka SPRS score) reflects an organization's cybersecurity maturity. For entities within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), a high SPRS score can be the difference between securing a DoD contract and being left out in the cold. However, achieving this coveted score requires more than just understanding guidelines – it demands a commitment to robust cybersecurity practices and investing in tools like Certification Assistant.  

Self-assessments have never been more critical. With the DoD and prime contractors intensively validating scores, inaccuracies can lead to catastrophic consequences like contract losses and tarnished prime contractor relationships. Ensure your organization stands on solid ground.
